Pelletier-Khampinith Associate

I hold a Bachelor of Laws from the Université de Sherbrooke. I also studied Law at the Faculté de Droit et Science politique de l’Université de Toulouse 1, in France.

While pursuing university studies, I took part in the Simulation du Parlement européen (SPEC-QUE) as an MEP and I acted as a research assistant with the Honourable Justice Claude Champage from the Superior Court – Criminal division, district of Montreal. I also got involved with multiple community organisms including Collège Frontière, a literacy organization which helps children and adults improve their reading and writing skills.

After completing my internship at the Bureau d’aide juridique de Québec – criminal division in 2013, I joined Mr. Gervais Labrecque.

My practice is entirely focused on criminal and prison law. I regularly plead before courts of first instance and courts of appeal. I also advise, assist and represent incarcerated people before the parole board.

I show a keen interest in constitutional matters and in writing requests under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

When a person faces criminal charges, it is of utmost importance to ensure that the Crown respects the limits of its powers and obligations in order to maintain balance between individ-ual rights and public safety.

I practice as a defence lawyer with the thought that the rights stated in the Charter are be-yond the rights of the accused person while protecting Canadian citizens.

I hold a college degree in Litterature and Theatre; this is where my interest for writing and pleading emerged from.

In order to provide the best services as a criminal lawyer, I acknowledge that it is my duty to constantly update my knowledge in terms of court decisions. Reading new jurisprudential de-velopments is an integral part of my practice.

You can go over my specialized blog in drinking and driving matters on the website of the Cen-tre d’accès à l’information juridique (CAIJ) and on our Web page.

You may also read the publications I wrote in collaboration with Les Éditions Yvon Blais – Thomson Reuters. These are summaries and comments regarding recent criminal law deci-sions.
